Should any bhikkhuni knowingly deprive an animal of life, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />143 [62]. Should any bhikkhuni knowingly make use of water with living beings in it, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />144 [63]. Should any bhikkhuni knowingly agitate for the reviving of an issue that has been rightfully dealt with, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />145 [66]. Should any bhikkhuni knowingly and by arrangement travel together with a caravan of thieves, even for the interval between one village and the next, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />146 [68]. Should any bhikkhuni say the following: "As I understand the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One, those acts the Blessed One says are obstructive, when indulged in are not genuine obstructions," the bhikkhunis should admonish her thus: "Do not say that, lady. Do not misrepresent the Blessed One, for it is not good to misrepresent the Blessed One. The Blessed One would not say anything like that. In many ways, lady, the Blessed One has described obstructive acts, and when indulged in they are genuine obstructions."<br /><br />And should the bhikkhuni, thus admonished by the bhikkhunis, persist as before, the bhikkhunis are to rebuke her up to three times so as to desist. If while being rebuked up to three times she desists, that is good. If she does not desist, it is to be confessed.<br />Part Fifteen: The View Chapter [go up]<br /><br />147 [69]. Should any bhikkhuni knowingly consort, join in communion, or lie down in the same lodging with a bhikkhuni professing such a view who has not acted in compliance with the rule, who has not abandoned that view, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />148 [70]. And if a female novice should say the following: "As I understand the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One, those acts the Blessed One says are obstructive, when indulged in are not genuine obstructions," the bhikkhunis should admonish her thus: "Do not say that, lady novice. Do not misrepresent the Blessed One, for it is not good to misrepresent the Blessed One. The Blessed One would not say anything like that. In many ways, lady, the Blessed One has described obstructive acts, and when indulged in they are genuine obstructions."<br /><br />And should that female novice, thus admonished by the bhikkhunis, persist as before, the bhikkhunis should admonish her as follows: "From this day forth, lady novice, you are not to claim the Blessed One as your teacher, nor are you even to have the opportunity the other female novices get — that of sharing lodgings two or three nights with the bhikkhunis. Away with you! Out of our sight! (literally, 'Get lost!')"<br /><br />Should any bhikkhuni knowingly support, receive services from, consort with, or lie down in the same lodging with a novice thus expelled, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />149 [71]. Should any bhikkhuni, admonished by the bhikkhunis in accordance with a rule, say, "Ladies, I will not train myself under this training rule until I have put questions about it to another bhikkhuni, experienced and learned in the discipline," it is to be confessed. Bhikkhus, [the Buddha is apparently addressing the bhikkhus who will inform the bhikkhunis of this training rule] (a training rule) is to be understood, is to be asked about, is to be pondered. This is the proper course here.<br /><br />150 [72]. Should any bhikkhuni, when the Patimokkha is being repeated, say, "Why are these lesser and minor training rules repeated when they lead only to anxiety, bother and confusion?" the criticism of the training rules is to be confessed.<br /><br />151 [73]. Should any bhikkhuni, when the Patimokkha is being recited every half-month, say, "Just now have I heard that this case, too, is handed down in the Patimokkha, is included in the Patimokkha, and comes up for recitation every half-month;" and if other bhikkhunis should know, "That bhikkhuni has already sat through two or three recitations of the Patimokkha, if not more," the bhikkhuni is not exempted for being ignorant. Whatever the offense she has committed, she is to be dealt with in accordance with the rule; and in addition, her deception is to be exposed: "It is no gain for you, lady, it is ill-done, that when the Patimokkha is being recited, you do not pay proper attention and take it to heart." Here the deception is to be confessed.<br /><br />152 [74]. Should any bhikkhuni, angered and displeased, give a blow to (another) bhikkhuni, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />153 [75]. Should any bhikkhuni, angered and displeased, raise her hand against (another) bhikkhuni, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />154 [76]. Should any bhikkhuni charge a bhikkhuni with an unfounded sanghadisesa (offense), it is to be confessed.<br /><br />155 [77]. Should any bhikkhuni purposefully provoke anxiety in (another) bhikkhuni, (thinking,) "This way, even for just a moment, she will have no peace" — if doing it for just this reason and no other — it is to be confessed.<br /><br />156 [78]. Should any bhikkhuni stand eavesdropping on bhikkhunis when they are arguing, quarreling, and disputing, thinking, "I will overhear what they say" — if doing it for just this reason and no other — it is to be confessed.<br />Part Sixteen: The In-accordance -with-the-Rule Chapter [go up]<br /><br />157 [79]. Should any bhikkhuni, having given consent (by proxy) to a formal act carried out in accordance with the rule, later complain (about the act), it is to be confessed.<br /><br />158 [80]. Should any bhikkhuni, when deliberation is being carried on in the Community, get up from her seat and leave without having given consent, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />159 [81]. Should any bhikkhuni, (acting as part of) a Community in concord, give robe-cloth (to an individual bhikkhuni) and later complain, "The bhikkhunis apportion the Community's gains according to friendship," it is to be confessed.<br /><br />160 [82]. Should any bhikkhuni knowingly divert to an individual gains that had been allocated for the Community, it is to be confessed.<br /><br />161 [84]. Should any bhikkhuni pick up or have (someone) pick up a valuable or what is considered a valuable, except within a monastery or within a dwelling, it is to be confessed. But when a bhikkhuni has picked up or had (someone) pick up a valuable or what is considered a valuable (left) in a monastery or in a dwelling, she is to keep it, (thinking,) "Whoever it belongs to will (come and) fetch it." This is the proper course here.<br /><br />162 [86]. Should any bhikkhuni have a needle case made of bone, ivory, or horn, it is to be broken and confessed.<br /><br />163 [87]. When a bhikkhuni is making a new bed or bench, it is to have legs (at most) eight fingerbreadths long — using Sugata fingerbreadths — not counting the lower edge of the frame. In excess of that it is to be cut down and confessed.<br /><br />164 [88]. Should any bhikkhuni have a bed or bench upholstered, it (the upholstery) is to be torn off and confessed.<br /><br />165 [90]. When a bhikkhuni is making a skin-eruption covering cloth, it is to be made to the standard measurement. Here the standard is this: four spans — using the Sugata span — in length, two spans in width. In excess of that, it is to be cut down and confessed.<br /><br />166 [92]. Should any bhikkhuni have a robe made the size of the Sugata robe or larger, it is to be cut down and confessed. Here, the size of the Sugata robe is this: nine spans — using the Sugata span — in length, six spans in width. This is the size of the Sugata's Sugata robe.<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> <a class="more" href="http://tipitaka-pali.blogspot.com/2007/08/pacittiya-bhikkhuni.html"title="Read More...!"> Read More...!</a> <p class="post-footer">by silent to peace... at 9:26 PM.<span class="item-action"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/email-post/3006674544655205230/2461407625730021997" title="Email Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif" height="13" width="18"/></a></span><span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1062105761"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3006674544655205230&postID=2461407625730021997&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> <p align="right"></p></div> <!-- End POST --> <!-- ### Begin COMMENTS and LINK BACK.
